We are very grateful for this support to continue our work in pancreatic cancer cell heterogeneity.

If you want to know more about chemoresistance to gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer, look no further. You will also find some great figures to use for your future talk needs here: https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpcell.00331.2022?rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed&url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.org

We show that (1) metabolic subtypes exist within pancreatic tumors, (2) these populations exchange nutrients to support each other, (3) among these, asparagine can support mitochondrial metabolism, (4) degradation of asparagine enhances mitochondrial targeting, and (5) the differences in metabolism between clones are due to a constitutive vs. inducible stress response.
